The leafy foliage cast a spell,
The boundless moments of sheer joy
I was girl of twelve
Life was epitome of glee and mirth
This is the place where I made my presence felt.
I am on my bicycle
Waiting for "chirpy"
My only pal who witnessed the glory,
In the lap of this discreet wood
Every tree whispered, every tree addressed me,
I felt that every minute,
I felt that in every minute detail of the singing birds,
Perched on some nearby trunk
I was happy all alone
Nobody to disturb
It was I wrapped inside the foliage's warm love
Wait read on,
I have one secret to share
When the sun peeped in,
When the place was getting little breezy,
Mother Nature tried to urge me for a serenade swing.
I held on to a bark of a tree trunk tight,
Alas, to my utter delight
I heard her speak
"Sohini save me I am in real plight"
In no time the woods will disappear, by the time you grow
Only the memories of our togetherness will remain
You will find skyscrapers here ....
The real mystery of the man made universe.
So thrive in your gossamer dreams
Imagine I am alive in the soul within.

Wish you and your family a very very Happy New Year..May this year brings happiness and cheers in your life...Yash

Hello Harry & Helen,
The painting was really good, it reminded me of the places I used to visit when I was a child hovering places from my gran's place which is situated in the outskirts of a metro city.
Thanks a ton for appreciating...

Thanks Mr. Chhabra,
I am dazed cause I just happen to peep in Bijaya's work and i was a bit inspired with the picture, completely unawares but scribbled what I would have felt as I pictured myself with that girl.
Thanks for so much encouragement....
regards

Wonderful poem, Sohini. Such lovely words painted naïve….
I liked these lines ……….
Every tree whispered, every tree addressed me,
I felt that every minute,
I felt that in every minute detail of the singing birds,
